5 Must-Have Items Extremely Useful During Summer

Travelling Japan in summer time could be a bit harsh if you are not familiar to the heat. The temperature is as high as 32–35℃, and most uncomfortably it’s really humid. It’s normal to feel like melting and taking shower 5 times a day.. So how Japanese people survive in this heat?? Today, I’d like to introduce 5 secret items to beat the heat and stay cool during summer!

The new must-have item for summer! Apply the spray on your clothes before putting on, and this special spray contains the substance which reacts every time you sweat and gives cool sense! The small bottle is sold less than $5 at Amazon Japan!
